SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Employer Assistance Referral
Network (EARN) is a nationwide service
designed to provide employers with a
technical, educational, and
informational resource to simplify and
encourage the hiring of qualified
workers. Historically, disability
programs required employers to do
much of the work in the finding and
hiring of people with disabilities. The
Office of Disability Employment Policy
(ODEP) of the Department of Labor has
designed EARN to alleviate these
barriers and do much of the work for the
employer.
EARN is a service from the Office of
Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) of
the Department of Labor. This referral
service links employers with providers
who refer appropriate candidates with
disabilities. The service is provided by
means of a nationwide toll-free Call
Center.
EARN is a service of the Office of
Disability Employment Policy which
was established pursuant to section
1(a)(1) of the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2001 (Pub. L. 106–
554) H.R. 5656, see Title I,
‘‘Departmental Management’’) 29 U.S.C.
551 et seq.; 5 U.S.C. 301; and Executive
Order 13187, ‘‘The President’s Disability
Employment Partnership Board
(PDEPB)’’ (January 10, 2001).
This service and the data collection
component is authorized pursuant to
Public Law 106–554 which direct the
Office of Disability Policy to provide
initiatives such as EARN to ‘‘further the
objective of eliminating employment
barriers to the training and employment
of people with disabilities’’.
The Department is particularly
interested in comments which:
• Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
III. Current Action
This extended ICR covers four forms:
EARN Provider Enrollment Form, EARN
Employer Enrollment Form, EARN
Employer Survey and EARN Provider
Survey. The enrollment forms
(Employer Enrollment and Provider
Enrollment) will be used to enroll
provider and employers who wish to
participate and use this service. The
surveys (Employer Survey and Provider
Survey) will collect quantitative data on
participants’ levels of satisfaction with
individual service elements and their
satisfaction with the service as a whole.
The surveys will also solicit free-text
comments from participants regarding
the service.
